Great day on the water. We landed a 650# 107” bluefin tuna. A true sea monster. Go fishing with these guys and you will have memories that will last a lifetime!

I was on that boat in ‘98 and again in ‘16. Great trips both times. Couldn’t have asked for any better, except maybe a captain that didn’t yell at us so much. Just kidding. The banter back and forth was pretty comical, and added to the trip. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Got on a makeup trip right after hurricane Jose went up the coast. We loaded up on mahi and had a blast. The captain is top notch and the mate, Kerry, worked his tail off for us. Highly recommend this boat and crew.
